I want to teach my 10 and 13 year olds some ‘funny’ insults from back in the day - any others that need resurrecting??

Shit for brains.

I'm puzzled by this one, please could someone explain?

Edited to add: The eighteen pages, not poor Fanny Adams.

The PP presumably has MN set to show 25 posts per page, so had scrolled through 18 pages of posts - and believed that, in all of those posts, nobody had yet mentioned the mild insult 'doughnut'; although two or three people had indeed before then already mentioned the word.

Thick as shit in a bottle,I've not heard in years don't know if it was local or not Ne Scotland.

Oh of course, I feel stupid now. I imagined Mike Reid exclaiming, "18 pages and no doughnut!" and wondering what on Earth he meant!

My son says this all the time!

My son also says this.

"Couldn't carry a tune in a bucket with a lid on"

To quote a Scots friend ...thick as pig shit.

Doesn't know their arse from their elbow
One eye looking at you one eye looking for you....a very non PC way of saying someone has a squint
Doesn't know if they're Arfa orMarfa ...said in east end of London accent
About as much support as a cup less bra

Blithering idiot!

One sticking,one twisting is the Ne Scottish one for a squint eye haven't heard in a long time for obvious reasons.

When I was little, someone with a squint was described as "sken-eyed". Odd phrase.

mardy arse-he's a right mardy arse, bad tempered

I think it's an East Midland term. On century FM they used to have a mardy arse prank call bit on the breakfast show.
Also Arctic monkeys had that song Mardy Bum

Airhead came in the 90s from America, also for a stupid person male or female. I like that one too.

Armadillo or a Dime Bar, someone who is unintelligent. Because of the Dime Bar adverts with Harry Enfield about 30 years ago
